Visible Airglow Experiment data analysis
Abstract
The Visible Airglow Experiment (VAE) was designed to provide detailed profiles of the distribution of excited states of atoms and molecules in the upper atmosphere. The studies supported during the funding period (1983 - 1989) have made significant contributions in the area of thermospheric aeronomy, and the progress during the first four years of this period has been reviewed by Hays et al. (1988). The investigations carried out have resulted in more than 20 publications, and these are summarized.
